I would imagine the driver of the car who caused it was a fatality. Being a left hand drive. The van had a massive impact. So he must have been hurt quite bad or a fatality. Think the people in the car filming may have got away with injuries, depends on how sturdy the car was. Hard to tell.
 
Mind Blown, Trillion Frames Per Second Camera used to see light in motion through a Coke bottle!

You can see how the light reacts through a Coke bottle about 2 minutes in...


Interesting with the tomato as well, like how it looks to glow but its the light bouncing around inside.
 
I don't get it.

The speed of light is 299,792,458 metres per second. This camera claims to be taking 1 trillion images in 1 second.

That would mean that each frame would only be able to capture objects that are under 30 cms away, anything past 30cms from the camera should just be blackness.

Or am I doing it wrong? (if so please rxplain as I'm genuinely interested).

P.S At work so haven't actually watched the video

Same thing works for normal cameras. The light from the sun takes about 8 mins to reach earth. You dont need an exposure 8 mins long to pick up light from the sun though (becuase you're seeing the light that was emitted 8 mins ago)

Think of it as like water coming from your tap. You don't have to wait for it to come all the way from the resovoir every time you turn the tap on as there's already some in the pipe.
In this case there is already light on it's way towards the camera lense, it just gets picked up by the detector in that particular trillionth of a second.

What happens here is they fire the light beam loads and loads of times then stitch it together to produce this.
 
I thought the most interesting part of that was having to correct the image for the relativity effect!

I'm not talking about the light not having enough time to travel from the sun into the camera, I'm saying it doesn't have enough time to travel from 30cm away from the camera at the moment a picture is taken to the camera lense.

To use misterPK's tap analgoy if when you first turned the tap on you got blue water then after 10 seconds you got green water, if you only turned the tap on for 9 seconds you wouldn't see the green water because the tap hasn't been on long enough for it to come through...

Hope that makes sense.

The difference here is that the light is 'flowing' all of the time.
The water is not moving in a pipe until you turn the tap on, but light is always travelling regardless of whether or not the camera is capturing it.

Each frame might be slightly behind reality as the light takes a small amount of time to travel (but thats the same with any camera) but every frame still captures all of the light because the light started travelling before the frame started capturing it.

OK then if you had a tap that was constantly flowing and at exactly 4pm the water changed from blue to green and you only watched it from 3:50 to 3:59 you wouldn't see the green water.

Looking at the video, it seems I may be right as the things they've taken films of (the Coke bottle and the tomato) are both are within 30cm of the lens (assuming no zoom is being used) and there is darkness in the background.

The background is dark so that you can see the light travel through the bottle.


If you were right, the background would get gradually lighter through the video as the light from further and further away reaches the camera.
